Well, the thing is, there aren't too many guitarists out there today to replace them...

Besides, isn't ED retired already?

I think he retired from drinking for 1 month.

Interesting indeed ... you mean the folks who didn't make the team so World made a minor league farm system ...

One was really geared towards the alternative movement back in the day ...

Navarro has been a Fucking tool ever since he covered with DEF LEP'S BRINGING ON THE HEARTBREAK with FUCKING MARIAH CAREY. God what an awful cover. I love the orignal Def Lep. version though. but my god what a shitt ymoment in music that was,

Navarro had one kick ass album ... their first ... other than that he might as well be on the top 10 one hit wonder guitarists n' shit ...

Pretty much agree that Ed is essentially retired anyway.

Probably would have been best, far as the band Van Halen is concerned, for them to have ended it in 1996-1998, and did the full-blown Roth reunion THEN; one final, full-length CVH album and one multi-year tour. Would have been a great way to go out on a high note. THEN Ed could have went and made an album of tuba solos, or whatever.

Man, when I see the nonsense that has transpired under the name Van Halen since 1996, just makes me shake my head. Not that Van Hagar 1986-1996 was any better, but at least they put out an album and hit the road with semi-regularity.

I still think Ed should just put out an instrumental album at this point. Have him play guitar, bass, and keyboards. Alexandra can play drums. I mean, what really is the fucking point of trying to get a FOURTH singer in there just to keep calling the thing 'Van Halen'?

Van Halen is done.

Who the fuck is Mike Mushok?

And why is he mentioned in the same sentence as Fred Durst?

Did I just answer my own question? LOL.

Why isn't Ritchie Blackmore on this list?

Shit, we should come up with our own list. Plenty of nominees to choose from.

Nothing says "I'm retired" like smashing x-pensive Charvels' on the patio. Maybe alzheimers is setting in?

-ONE magazine......

INside there is a list of the "TOP TEN GUITARISTS WHO DESPERATELY NEED TO RETIRE".....

#1???

YOU GUESSED IT.....


" It's been 20 years since Eddie's done anything worthwhile on guitar. Twenty years. Anyone that ineffective at any other job would have been fired 19 years and 10 months ago."

"20 years"??? What are they getting at???

Here's a far out mathematical theory:

Van Halen=1978-1985
Van Hagar=1986-1995
Year we are now ending: 2005

2005-20=1985

...simple mathematics, Watson...
